The reason of the left eyelid jumping all the time
There are two types of left eyelid beat: physiological and pathological
Experts said, eyelid beat medicine known as eyelid tremor or blepharospasm, is due to autonomic nerve disorders, eyelid orbicularis oculi muscle fiber part affected and suddenly produce repeated tremor, spasm phenomenon. Eyelid beat is divided into physiological and pathological two kinds, the former accounts for the vast majority, easy to appear in excessive eye use or fatigue, mental stress, excessive pressure, excessive smoking and drinking, attack time is short (usually a few seconds), beating degree is not serious.
Pathological eyelid beat can be caused by eye ametropia (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc.), intraocular foreign bodies, trichiasis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. it occurs frequently, lasts for a long time, and has a large beating range. Some people even twitch their eyebrows, forehead, corners of the mouth and even half of the face.
In particular, 99% of the eyelid beat caused by facial muscle spasm is caused by the facial nerve which dominates the movement of eyelid muscle is compressed and stimulated by intracranial abnormal blood vessels, and 1% is caused by the facial nerve stimulated by intracranial tumor and arachnoid adhesion, so it is also regarded as a sign of brain disease.
1、 Physiological eyelid beat
In daily life, many middle-aged and elderly people will suddenly beat their eyelids in a certain period of time, which can be as short as a few minutes and as long as a few weeks. For the vast majority of people with simple eyelid skipping, the most common reasons are excessive use of eyes, eye muscle fatigue or fatigue, mental tension, such as using the computer for too long, using the eyes for too long in strong or weak light, excessive mental pressure, etc. As long as by relaxing the pressure, proper rest, you can get recovery.
2、 Pathological eyelid beat
1. Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, trichiasis, conjunctivitis, keratitis and ametropia
More eyelid 'beat' is caused by one of the above diseases. These causes mainly act on the nerve endings, resulting in. Symptoms are often limited to one side of the upper eyelid or lower eyelid beat, and some people's eyelid beat will gradually aggravate.
2. Facial nerve stimulation of abnormal intracranial walking vessels
When the eyelid 'beat' gradually develops into complete blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm, it indicates that the main branches or trunk of the facial nerve are stimulated. As the cause of the disease, the lesion is located in the brain or the starting part of the facial nerve after it comes out of the brain. The most common disease is the compression and stimulation of facial nerve root by abnormal intracranial blood vessels.
3. Intracranial tumor, arachnoid adhesion and facial nerve stimulation
Only in rare cases are eyelid 'beats' caused by these diseases.
Treatment of left eyelid skipping
Eyelid jump is something everyone may encounter in life, most people can disappear in a short time. Therefore, when eyelid just jump, don't go to treatment immediately, but pay more attention to rest, relax the spirit, and keep a good attitude; at the same time, pay attention to observe whether eyelid jump is gradually decreasing or increasing, whether there is a downward trend and a linear pulling feeling from around the eyes to the corner of the mouth. In addition, look in the mirror, have a look, feel whether there is obvious atrophy (depression). If the eyelids still jump after a week, you should go to a professional medical institution for diagnosis and treatment. If there is eyelid beat due to ametropia, usually vision correction can be alleviated.
